Al Hassan supports ROP Road Safety Expo (18 May 2010)

Al Hassan Group joined hands with the Royal Oman Police (ROP) to participate in and present the Traffic Safety Expo 2010, a component of the Traffic Safety Symposium currently being organised in Muscat. The three-day Expo is aimed at placing the greatest emphasis ever on road safety initiatives within the country.

“Safety on the roads of Oman has become a major cause for concern for everyone in the country,” explained Mr. Maqbool Ali Salman, MD, Al Hassan Group, on the sidelines of the inaugural function. "The ROP has been spearheading several initiatives to create awareness about road safety, to introduce safety norms to reduce all types of accidents and to work towards a safer driving experience for all residents. Other agencies involved in road safety have also contributed in large measure to keep the country’s roads free of accidents. The objective of the Expo is to improve the understanding among the community of road users on how best practices and more responsible attitudes in driving can contribute to a reduction in accidents and create a safer driving environment."

Mr. Salman added that the Al Hassan presence at the Exhibition was indicative of unqualified support and endorsement for the national effort.

The Traffic Safety Expo 2010 features the latest and most innovative road safety solutions from both local and international exhibitors.

The Al Hassan stall at the Expo has been developed with emphasis on the Best HSE Practices being followed by Al Hassan in all its business activities including Contracting, Manufacturing and Trading.

Mr. Salman added, "Al Hassan Group gives the highest priority to Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) so as to protect and keep safe its employees and the work place as well as to strive to achieve world class standards in HSE. Keeping this in mind, Al Hassan has executed a number of projects in Oil & Gas, Petrochemicals, Power and Water sectors without any lost time incidents (LTIs) and has now worked 34 million LTI free man-hours since 2007."
